Chris Brown’s 57-Track Album ‘Heartbreak On A Full Moon’ Goes “Platinum”

Chris Brown‘s 57-track album experiment is proving to be a fruitful venture.

For, the singer has just nabbed his latest plaque and its color is Platinum.

Full story below…

Despite having sold 80,000 units in traditional sales, ‘Heartbreak On A Full Moon’ has been awarded a Platinum plaque for shifting 1 million equivalent units.

Wondering how? Us too. Still, here’s an attempted breakdown…

The set originally arrived as a 45-track album last October. Thus technically serving as a “double album.” In December, an additional 12 tracks wee bolted on as a holiday “care package” bringing the total number of songs to 57. Leaving ample room for argument that the project now qualifies as a “triple” album.

Whatever the case, the sheer number of songs has translated into enough plays to somehow justify Platinum status.

Clearly aware of the eyebrow raising and head-scratching, C. Breezy shared his receipt with the caption:

See, we listened to ‘Heartbreak’ and could not find this “greatness” he speaks of.

Make no mistake, the effort was commendable but with Chris there’s a clear issue of quality control. It’s as if he releases every song he records. Like, because he throws 100 tracks at us does not mean all of them warrant praise. Indeed, most were fluff filler.

There’s also something kinda suspect about this practice (double/triple album). He’s not achieved Platinum status with most of his recent releases and then by simply releasing more than anyone asked for he’s rewarded. It really doesn’t encourage him to be the best artist he can be nor does it help “Platinum” feel prestigious in a time when changing measuring metrics (see: streaming) are already causing it to lose some of its shine.

Plaques are cute, but impact and true resonance are better. Have any of the songs on ‘Heartbreak’ done anything on the charts? Impacted culture? Elevated Chris to new heights? Not at all.

So while this may stroke his ego and placate the uninformed, the reality is that this feels hella artificial and doesn’t help him in the long term.

What happen to the beautiful guy and smile? This industry has DESTROYED his spark, that glow, that fly spirit of his. He looks meth/drugged out. Such a waste of great talent even with those limited vocals.

Chris Brown is so talented, besides being a great dancer, singer, producer, and artist. I would LOVE a piece of work by him. Lastly, he’s a GREAT actor. As indicated by the movie “This Christmas “. People can’t stop him that God’s given. All he needs to do is get that self esteem together and realize he doesn’t need approval from anyone. Just like what his talent has to offer. All the hypocrisy as we have the biggest FREAK women violator as he said “grab them by the p****” in the White House now. At least in Chris defense he’s still young. But what’s Your President’s excuse???🤔

Amen. It dont matter why this and that. Like he say. Great talent speak for itself. Don’t havd. Nothing to do with why his arms is little. My Gosh! People find anything about you and try to destroy you with it. You just got to be in tune with the star playa (yourself). “Kat Williams” forget the haters and and anyone that ain’t got nothing good to say because they are messed up and miserable. Love you Chris keep doing your thang💯✌

Wow i am truly impressed! TGJ has a writer who is writing personally & not objectively! The hate out shines the facts! Regardless to weather you like you as a writer should have stayed on topic & not allowed your personal feelings to take over the topic! Anyone who reads this will see that as a writer the hate trumps what your topic is. I Try supporting you guys but being objective is the key not writing your personal thoughts on every topic.

THANK YOU. I agreed with everything written! I’ve been blasting this sham album all over the comment section of this site since it was released. So disappointed with the quality that he’s actually losing my fandom.

A million sales equals more than a billion streams, combined, of those 57 tracks. Gross revenues are typically about $100k per 15 million streams. This album has likely grossed upwards of $10mil. So, though the album apparently sucks (no hits therein), it made money. I won’t knock the hustle.

I loved the album, it was his best piece of work in my opinion. I was shocked that I loved it so much, as his previous music was just mediocre to me. Although I can let most of the album play without skipping much, there’s a good 25 tracks I bump frequently so that’s saying a lot.

Please stfu😂 you’re a hater and most likely Dont have any talents besides bashing and being a selfish f***. Chris brown is more talented than half of these entertainers. At least his album is platnum. Where’s yo album🤗🔫

Yes to answer your question at the end regarding any songs on Heartbreak make the charts. 5 of them did. Privacy, Party, Pills and Automobiles, Grass ain’t Greener & Questions. Pills and Automobiles us still on the radio today. Do your homework!

I’m very proud of Chris he’s great he’s came a long way , give him his props, he’s very talented and he deserves it ,leave him alone , I believe his daughter really changed him ,keep it up Chris love u

I’m a huge CB fan but this article is true. The album only has a few good songs in my opinion. I saw a comment that told the author of this article to stay humble… Are you f****** kidding me?! CB is the least humble artist out there. He could have said something totally different and positive but instead he acts like a child and is basically saying ” f*** you, look what I can do”, instead of saying something like “hard work pays off”. He is a complete d***** bag and everyone knows it but most of his music is pretty damn good.

You all are a bunch of hateful, jealous, sick individuals. Hate all you want because you don’t have his talent. The vocals on this album is unbelievable. He has mad natural talent. The lyrics was so amazing especially on yellow tape I had to google to see if he had help, not that I doubt his talent at all. I love Chris for his perseverance. He continues to come back hotter every time and I love it. Your jealousy will never stop his fan base or his talent , you can’t it’s GOD given. Continue to wear your jealousy, it looks good on you.

well, I guess you write, sing, act
dance and produce; that’s why you think its easy!
This man of God is talented!
Man may judge and never forgive but
God has forgiven him and will contiune to bless no matter what man’s opinion might be!

Whom ever wrote this as article is such hater. Get off that band wagon on let’s hate Chris for a mistake he made a decade ago move on. Let the man be great, let him live. Find the good that he does for charity. Congratulations Chris Brown on your success

I never thought I would see the day that 80,000 copies = platinum status. The industry has really gone down now, and so has the quality of music in general. Still his album was certified so congrats to Chris.
